Radioactive materials and the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard
Publication date: July–August 2018Source: Journal of Chemical Health and Safety, Volume 25, Issue 4Author(s): Elliot SteinMany radioactive substances have chemical hazards that are regulated under the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard. Environmental health and safety professionals need to be aware which substances fall into this category. These substances need to be part of their organization’s hazard communication program.

Health and safety assessment and regulatory management of Aldicarb, Atrazine, Diuron, Glyphosate, and MCPA by theoretical maximum daily intake estimation
Publication date: July–August 2018Source: Journal of Chemical Health and Safety, Volume 25, Issue 4Author(s): Zijian LiManagement of pesticide standard values (PSVs) in different human exposure pathways is critical since pesticides may significantly impact human health from the exposure. Aldicarb, Atrazine, Diuron, Glyphosate, and MCPA are the five most widely used pesticides in the world. Many international jurisdictions have been working on regulating PSVs for these five pesticides. However, there is little agreement on PSVs among regulatory jurisdictions so far and most nations developed their PSVs without considering...

Coal dust exposure reduction using water mist system: A case study
The objective of the study was to assess the efficiency of water mist system in reducing airborne coal dust concentration in the working atmosphere near a coal fired boiler. Samples from eight workers were taken, representing approximately 80% of the total workforce involved in the coal handling operations. Exposure monitoring was conducted for 480 min during regular working hours. A personal dust sampler was used to capture the airborne coal dust (PM5) before and after installation of water mist system. After quantification and comparison, it was observed that the water mist system successfully reduced up to 81% of a...

Assessing flammable storage cabinets as sources of VOC exposure in laboratories using real-time direct reading wireless detectors
Publication date: Available online 4 February 2018Source: Journal of Chemical Health and SafetyAuthor(s): Amie E. Norton, Amos Doepke, Fariba Nourian, William B. Connick, Kenneth K. BrownHerein we present the results of measurements using wireless direct-reading photoionization detector-based gas sensors to quantify concentrations of vapors of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in and around flammable storage cabinets containing common organic solvents, including acetone, dichloromethane, trichloroethylene, and benzene. Such cabinets are commonly employed in laboratories to contain flammable liquids. A sensor array was depl...

Spread rate of flammable liquids over flat and inclined porous surfaces
Publication date: Available online 24 February 2018Source: Journal of Chemical Health and SafetyAuthor(s): Tasneem Abbasi, Vipin Kumar, S.M. Tauseef, S.A. AbbasiVery large quantities of flammable substances are produced, transported, and refilled across the world. Of these some, like gasoline and diesel, are liquids at normal temperature and pressure while some others – like liquid petroleum gas (LPG – are pressure liquefied gases. Ever so often accidental spills of these chemicals occur. While some spills are contained before they could do much damage, many others catch fire and often also lead to massive explosions. ...

Lessons learned in several laboratory upgrades
Publication date: Available online 30 March 2018Source: Journal of Chemical Health and SafetyAuthor(s): L.C. Cadwallader, R.J. PawelkoWhen upgrades occur in a laboratory, the construction project team generally turns to the lab management for the list of functional requirements. Lab management understands the research requirements but may not fully understand the facility and operational requirements. This deficiency may impact safety, costs, and timely project completion. In recent upgrades for standby power at the Safety and Tritium Applied Research (STAR) laboratory, three important lessons were to consider all operatin...
